Assuming incomplete dominance, if a homozygous red-flowered plant is crossed with a homozygous white-flowered plant, what will be the color of the offspring?

Question: Assuming incomplete dominance, if a homozygous red-flowered plant is crossed with a homozygous white-flowered plant, what will be the color of the offspring?

1) Red

2) White

3) Pink

4) Red and White

The color of the offspring will be "pink."

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a method of transitional inheritance in which single allele for a precise feature is not entirely articulated over its matching allele. This consequences in a third phenotype in which the articulated physical attribute is a mixture of the phenotypes of both alleles. Incomplete dominance occurs when two alleles are not dominant nor recessive towards each other. The alleles are both expressed and the phenotype, or physical trait, is a mixture of the two alleles. In less technical terms, this means that the two possible traits are blended together.

endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood stream near them; the hormones then travel in our bloodstream until it reaches its destination, called a target cell, in distance parts of the body. in the target tissue, hormones lock onto the target’s plasma membrane, called the receptor site.
